Juventus coach, Andrea Pirlo sacked
Juventus manager, Andrea Pirlo, has been sacked by the club.
The 42-year-old’s sacking came after he failed to lead the Turin-based club to win the Serie A title for the first time since 2012.
Juventus narrowly escaped missing out on the top four and Champions league slots in the Italian top flight this season, thanks to Verona hard fought 1-1 draw against Napoli.
Pirlo who was surprisingly named as Maurizio Sarri’s replacement last summer, spent just one season in charge of the club.
A statement on the Juventus website said: “For the courage, the dedication, the passion with which he demonstrated every day, our thanks go to the ‘Maestro’, the coach and to Andrea, that really comes from the heart, as well as our good luck for the future that will surely be a wonderful one.”
Massimiliano Allegri is expected to return for a second spell as manager.
Allegri was in charge of Juventus from 2014-19, winning five successive league titles and reaching the Champions League final twice. He is currently without a job.
